On April 26, 2022, GAC Trumpchi 's new model EMKOO was officially released, named "Yingku" in Chinese. The new car is built based on the GPMA architecture and is positioned as a compact SUV. It is expected to be launched at the end of 2022. At the same time, GAC Trumpchi also officially released a new hybrid technology brand - Sawlang Hybrid at the press conference, and Yingku EMKOO will become the first SUV model equipped with Sawlang Hybrid 2.0.
In terms of appearance, the new car basically continues the technological and industrial aesthetic design language of the EMKOO concept car, and will also represent GAC Trumpchi’s new family-style design style. The sharp new LED headlights on both sides of the front face have a three-stage built-in light source and are equipped with a mecha-style "jump grating". The grille is decorated with V-shaped radial array lines, and the entire front face has a very distinctive shape. future sense.
On the side of the car, the new car adopts a fastback design. The front of the car is low and the rear is high, slightly raised. It is equipped with details such as hidden door handles and multi-spoke wheels to enhance the sense of sportiness. At the rear of the car, the new car adopts "X-shaped quantum lightsaber taillights", which are avant-garde in shape, paired with star red texture and pulsed light effects, making them highly recognizable. In addition, the 2.0T model will also adopt a bilateral exhaust layout with four outlets, paired with a sharp diffuser, giving it a sporty feel.
In terms of interior, the interior of the new car integrates devices such as a three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel, a full LCD instrument panel, a rotary air outlet, an intelligent temperature control knob, and tunnel ambient lights throughout the main driving area. There is a large floating central control screen above the air outlet, with a built-in ADiGO 5.0 smart driving interconnection ecosystem and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which upgrades the new car's interior to a super-sensory interactive smart cockpit 2.0, which has a good sense of technology. In addition, the new car uses energy crystal as its design source and uses a crystal electronic gear lever with paddle-type door lock opening and other functions, which enhances the sense of luxury inside the car.
In terms of power system, Yingku will provide 3 power combinations, namely a hybrid system composed of 2.0ATK Atkinson engine + 2.0 second-generation electromechanical coupled system, and Julang Power 1.5TGDI engine + 7-speed wet dual Clutch gearbox and a combination of 2.0TGDI engine + Aisin 8AT gearbox.
Julang Hybrid has dual hybrid technology routes, which are the dual-motor series-parallel hybrid system developed by itself and the THS hybrid system in cooperation with Fengtian. Among them, dual-motor series-parallel hybrid systems cover gasoline-electric hybrids, plug-in hybrids, extended-range hybrids, and even hydrogen power systems. The THS hybrid system is composed of GAC 2.0TM engine + Fengtian’s fourth-generation THS hybrid system. Currently, this hybrid system has been used on the new Trumpchi GS8. It is reported that in terms of electrification strategy implementation products, GAC Trumpchi will also launch hybrid models of Shadow Leopard and M8 this year.
